Bears!

Higher res-pictures fill up the Flickr account quicker, don't they precious.

I'll come back soon when I figure out how to blog from the Shutterfly account, or I get around to uploading something to YouTube (one of the videos I have is Desmond being funny in the bath, and even though I tried my hardest to shoot only from the waist up, I want to preview and make sure that there's no little kid wiener featured before I upload it).

Anyhow, check this out.

Connor shows us that extreme close-up makes anyone look 32X handsome.

Blue Steel!

Yeah, you...play with that...pink tent and pony...yay. (It was actually a nice break from rocket ships, hand cannons, and the constant brshhh-keaoooooo-raaaahhhh noises heard around the house).

How in the hell did a naked mole rat like myself aid in creating such handsome boys?

Chocolate donut? Check. Going to the grocery store is only possible with a bribe.

These are all at the Paul Smiths VIC - it was a nice day for an outing. Some of these pictures are a bit grainy and washed out because the battery was about taxed, and the sun was really glare-y bouncing off the snow like that. If you want to see some fat squirells, though. Man. Get yourself to the VIC.

The young master spends a few minutes reflecting on a life well lived.


My surrealist masterpiece "Kid Under A Blanket." Watch it with the sound off, or better yet some avant garde jazz playing for the full affect.

Rocket Man!

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time...till we ever see awesome on the same level as Bill Shatner was in the 70's...

Okay, Okay, Okay

I should probably be connecting a computer to the wall right now instead, but my brain kind of hurts from the last few work days so I'll do this. It's been awhile - especially since I've put some new personal photos out there. There are more pictures than I will get around to posting here in my Flickr account, so anyone who cares can click on a pic to see them if they want. Now that I've got some video access, I'm going to look for a way to bore everyone with family videos in the near future as well...

I find it's always nice to start things out with some meat. After four autumns spent out in the cold I finally got some venison this year. Venison ribs cooked over an apple-wood fire taste like bacon - I highly recommend.

That's right. the squirt does a pretty good job of scootin' around now - and can stand up when supported well enough to really get into things. We ended up buying some Extend'O-Matic gates that cover both entrances to the living room and keep him pretty well corralled. Keeps thehurricane somewhat confined as well.

No idea about the pose, but he's got new snow clothes. Connor and sledding are a hilarious match - he loves it, but he buries his head before take off and doesn't look up the entire run down the hill - not to mention how crazy it looks to see a little elf body flying down the hill (he likes it! - Don't think we make him do it!).

The back yard, 5 days, 2 feet of snow, and about 60°F ago...
IMG_0202.JPG
Today, deck at work, icy lake - and 50°F outside. Snow's going to be gone tomorrow, and back on Thursday or Friday. I don't mind the cold - but I do like it to stay cold and snowy if that's how it's going to be.

Close up...red eye reduction looks much nicer when the picture's smaller!

The Hulk?

Here we go - Christmas morning, chocolate on the face.
IMG_0049.JPGIMG_0047.JPGIMG_0046.JPG
Between those three shots, there's got to be a good picture of all of 'em somewhere! Except for maybe the pizza face factor.

Christmas eve - he didn't quite make it through all the last minute wrapping before nodding off!

The choo-choo that invades our living room. It's kind of a cool toy, but it grows so freaking much each year! By Christmas '09 we should be able to snake track all throughout the house.
IMG_0064.JPG
There's always at least one pulling a funny face...

I think I've got a few more recent images floating around somewhere that I'll try to post sometime as well, someday!
